Born Hawaiian, raised Arizonan and now Manhattanite-- singer/songwriter David D’Alessio is a mix of irresistible hooks and big ideas. D'Alessio blends elements of acoustic pop with electronic flourishes and lush instrumentation. He draws comparisons to his geographic counterparts: the "Jason Mraz of the Southwest"; a voice with the "plaintive heights of Damien Rice"; "tenor reminiscent of Duncan Sheik." He has also toured extensively- nationally/internationally opening for the best in class : Colby Calliat, Brett Dennon, Missy Higgins, Lifehouse and many others.

D’Alessio moved to New York City and in 2012, he teamed up with Brooklyn producer Felix McTeigue (Sami.The.Great., 28 North) and recorded Some Girls (802 Media Group). For inspiration, D'Alessio canvassed the streets of NYC, photographing and filming it’s women for his latest album cover. His latest batch of songs fall in the realm of singer/songwriter-pop and share tasty bits of their wisdom- learning to settle down (“Ghost- The Bachelor’s Curse); nothing broken, nothing gained (“Throw Yourself in Front of It”); good girls put up a good fight (“Good Fight”). The album features performances by Amy Speace (vocals), Alex da Silva (SNL band) and John O'reilly (fun., Rachael Yamagata). In January 2014 D’Alessio was signed to 802 Media Group in Brooklyn New York. Some Girls released Jan 1, 2014 has already charted on iTunes new pop charts at #68.
